OBJECTIVE: Lung nodules can be benign or malignant, reflecting many possible causes, ranging from inflammatory and infectious processes to neoplasms. Incidental detection on chest x-ray or thoracic CT often requires further evaluation by imaging or invasive procedures. CONCLUSION: Currently, 18F-FDG PET/CT offers both anatomic and metabolic characterization of lung nodules. Fluorine-18-thymidine, 11C-methionine, 68Ga-DOTA-somatostatin analogs, and 18F-dihydroxyphenylalanine may offer additional molecular information useful for diagnosis and treatment planning.
